User Guide

• Collect every Relic you can find. Look everywhere. These valuable items are a gift
from your ancestors and provide you with access to Shrines for power-raising
meditation.
• Choose your Shrine meditations wisely. Try to match your own fighting style with
the kind of enhancements you choose.
• The Blade Magic you acquire by rescuing locals powers up your Throwing Stars
and Arrows as well as your sword.
• The Bow and Arrow is more powerful than the Throwing Stars, but slower because
you must take the time to aim.
• Sakai Attack Mode slows your enemy down. Save it for when you battle multiple
opponents or you need to trick a very fast and powerful enemy.
• Combo attacks inflict heavy damage. Use them often.
• Rescue all of the kids in Aku City and you’ll receive a very special power-up.
• Perform a string of attacks without interruption and Auto-Sakai will be
triggered. During Auto-Sakai, the action slows down as in normal Sakai but Jack
does not lose any Zen Energy while the Sakai is active.
